The Fastening Ring is an OEM part for Bosch front load washers. It secures the door boot seal to the front panel of the washer, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection. This ring is essential for maintaining the washer's seal during operation, preventing water from escaping the drum.
Causes of a bad fastening ring can include normal wear and tear, rust or corrosion, and damage from over-tightening or mishandling during maintenance.
Symptoms of a bad fastening ring include:
- Water leaking from the door area
- The door boot seal becoming loose or detached
- Visible damage or deformation of the ring
This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

Leaking washing machine replaced rubber door boot.. Gerhard P. • Dagsboro , DE • November 04, 2019
Fixing was easy and took approximately 1 hour. I have a Bosch Axxis washing machine and all parts came exactly as ordered and within 2 days of order. I had to take off front and top panel and the door switch. The new wire and spring was part of the order and I had to pay for it. The old parts looked fine to me and I could have reused them but since I had the new ones, I replaced them anyhow. I wish I would have the option to buy the rubber gasket only.
